Our hiring process includes a call with an internal recruiter as the first step and it's entirely by design. The goal is to make sure that there's a good high-level fit in terms of the role, your background, and our respective expectations. But one of the big unspoken objectives for us is to assess your communication skills. Our company is forever remote, we're globally distributed, and right now over 90% of our company speaks English as a second language, so having good communication skills is absolutely critical. We also need to make sure that you can explain technical concepts to non-technical team members, people like PMs, designers, the CEO, etc. I say all this because it may seem like a waste of time, but in our case, we're collecting information on soft skills to determine if you can succeed in your role.
